It's a scam - don't fall for it. Repeat after me: if it sounds too good to be true, IT IS!
(the lady on trial in Tennessee for killing her minister husband got involved in one of these, which was one factor leading her to shoot her husband - they are bad news & only want to take you for all you have.)

Report the email as spam and delete it immediately. You do not want to get caught up in a scam like this. These people are looking for personal information that will allow them to make money off of you. BEWARE!!!

SCAM! Anytime you get something not sure about like that report it as junk mail to your mail provider. Be careful where you put your email out at. I use two accounts: one for "public" use that I keep for when I have to register at a site that requires my email and the other "private" for family & friends to email me at. This way I know that only my family and friends will email me at my private one and the other unless it's specifically from the site that I'd registered at it's junk. Much easier to sort junk from real that way. Safer too.

All those get rich quick schemes are scams. It's a variation on a scam known as the Nigerian 419. As soon as you give them access to your bank account, they can take everything you have.

Run, run, fast! Those are all scams. Please, please don't give them any information about you, especially bank account information. Check out www.snopes.com. It is a great website that will tell you if something is an urban legend or true and it has information all about email scams. Go there for information on the Nigerian email scams.
